in the mid-19th century, you have growing urbanization, but not a lot of understanding of sanitation practices and things like that. there is a weird paradox with united states becoming stronger and more powerful, they are expanding demographically and territorially, but they're also losing citizens at an alarming rate. infant mortality rate is a major cause of concern. there is a major conversation that is happening around death. going to the west is the idea that this is a healthy place, it is clean, and the climate in oregon is supposed to be amazing. there is an old story that is meant to oregon and california you will never be able to die because it is so wonderful. people in some ways think that this could be a journey for something better in terms of health. what happens is that in 1849 in the early 1850's, there is a major cholera epidemic along the trails. this is the time the nichols family tried to go. that inverts the story of potentially the west as being healthy. instead is associated with an epidemic which has predominately been in urban centers such as new york. peopl
